Android: Move ringtones from SD-Card to internal memory

Julius — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 14:35:13 +0000

I have a Motorola Milestone and keep it inside the Desk-Dockingstation all day long. While it is in there, the phone cant use the ringtones saved on the sd-card, because the sd-card is shared over USB. I simply moved my ringtone to the internal ringtone memory.

You need root access and a terminal to put in these commands:

WARNING:
Be carefull because this could ruin your system!

su -
cd /
mount -o remout,rw /system
cp /sdcard/media/ringtones/YOURRINGTONE.mp3 /system/media/ringtones/
exit

Afterwards restart you phone, delete the ringtone file vom sdcard and select the internal ringtone. Should be working now :)

How to install Google Mail (GMail) on your Cyanogen Android Phone:

1. The Google Mail app is just available in USA Market. You need the app "Market Enabler" and fake a USA Provider like Verizon or T-Mobile.

2. Search for "Google Mail" or "Gmail" in the Market, if it does show up, install it.

3. If you cant find Google Mail in the Market, go to ww.appbrain.com and search for "Gmail". Use the QR Code + Browser to install Google Mail.
